Maybe because 2000 was the last year for the 302?:shrug:

regardless of what year your 302 come out of, yes it will bolt up to your tranny. Are you swapping to fuel injection or keeping it carb'd?

It will physically bolt up,but,he said he had the ECU and harness as well.There may be issues if that came from a vehicle with a electronic transmission.

I just put a set of new GT40-P heads on my car. Looking at the pictures I have, I noticed the date stamp on the intake side as 12/12/00...so I guess they could have been on a 2001 model.

Also, the wiring is gonna be a pain. Pre-87 cars have different connectors coming right off the 60 pin connector. I tried using a harness from an 89 to convert mine to mass air and it had a lot of different connectors. I ended up using a Granatelli add-on. Unless you're up to the challenge, I would go carb!
